Dave used the same stuff on Konarcik Park in Waterloo, IL.

The idea of cleats is a bit ridiculous to me. Can you imagine trying to pivot on your follow through with your plant foot fixed to the ground? Bye bye acl.
Yeah, it's silly. If I had to wear cleats to play a certain course I wouldn't play that certain course.
**Disclaimer** Unless it was the ONLY course.
No one is saying you have to wear cleats to play on turf. Just that it might be an option for those who care to experiment with it.
I have family in the area and your DG scene is downright terrible. Saying easy striking distance is pretty laughable.
Entirely agree - the quality of the few best courses is barely "above average". I think of the bay area as a disc golf wasteland of sorts :|
A real question that should be asked is about maintenance. Once a course is installed, as many club members around the country could tell you, there is a never ending punchlist of maintenance and marketing needed. In addition to the actual course, the local park system, government, municipality, and local community itself, often need reassurance that the course is needed. Is DGP going to be the ones to send a rep to the city council to address concerns? Is DGP leaving an infastructure to course maintenance in place? Will DGP be providing positive marketing to the public to both introduce the game and course, and following up with any potential negative push back? I am not a big club member and might not be asking the right questions. Perhaps some of the folks here, who spend time supporting and maintaining a course, could put some of the ongoing challenges down. I am not suggesting DGP is dropping in courses and running, but I am just curious to the question of ongoing support for the courses.
Wow...we have really taken off on this in depth cleats discussion. I am positive the, more than resouceful, disc golf population will discover the best footwear and add them to their personal arsenal.
I was hoping to get some responses to the above questions. I think this is a great concept and I am pretty excited about the idea of getting more courses in the ground. Sadly, I cannot get around the firewall at work to really make use of the DGP site. If the above is addressed in detail, I would gladly wait for the opportunity to read it at a later date.
It was pretty sad coming from the twin cities area.
#FirstWorldDGProblems lol.
Yeah, it's really sad when we have 70 degree january days, and I'm playing at Emerald Hills. I FEEL for you in the Twin Cities area...
For those asking about how the pads are installed, etc. Here's a link with installation instructions:

Hah, I don't have a copyright on logos with orange discsTim, don't you think their logo looks eerily similar to the DGCR logo? lol
How will these tees stand up to potential vandalism?
